Autodesk Project Storm - To the Cloud!

Project Neon, Vasari, and now Project Storm... All utilizing "the cloud" to manage major computing tasks...  Project Storm takes the process of performing Structural calculations in Revit Structure to the cloud!

• Click here for a nice write up on Project Storm
• Click here to try out and download Project Storm for Revit Structure.

I am loving the direction Autodesk is taking with the cloud.  I hope these previews can make their way into major releases (bug free) and on the cloud!

Project Neon - Rendering Could Not Finish

I have been fooling around with Project Neon - Cloud Based Rendering for Revit 2012 and noticed a little bug.  I tested it with 4 seperate projects of mine and there was only one common factor.

Of the four projects only one of the projects rendered succeful.  The difference between this project and the first three that failed was the first three projects had custom materials (created my me and loaded into my Revit materials libray).

Appearently, and I cannot confirm this, Project Neon does not like Materials other than those in the stock Rendering library... Maybeit is using a library in the cloud and that is why?

Well, since the troubleshooting page of Project Neon only talks about the CAD version I figured I would let you all know my findings...

Autodesk Labs - Room Renumber

Historically the ADN (Autodesk Developer Network) plugins of the month have been dominated by AutoCAD. This year we are keen on featuring plugins from ADN members who write them for some of our other applications like Inventor and Revit. So it should come as no surprise that this month's plugin is related to Revit.

Recall that each plugin includes the source code so prospective developers can see just how easy extending the functionality of our design applications actually is. Provding the source code also allows users to modify or extend the functionality to suit their particular needs. Each plugin includes a read me with all of the skinny related to the plugin. This month's read me mentions... Click here to see the Rest of the post...

Firefox Add-on for Autodesk Design Review graduates from Autodesk Labs - Cool!

This could be a great thing for Revit and I can see it being very useful in a school setting...

Firefox Add-on for Autodesk Design Review graduates from Autodesk Labs

Last month we retired the Firefox Add-on for Autodesk Design Review. Thanks to everyone who downloaded the technology preview over the last 22 months:



and provided feedback:



The add-on is still available on the Autodesk web site.



Graduation ceremonies are alive in the lab.
